Displayed in a dashboard format, Performance Tracker aligns best operational practices with actual production metrics and alerts users of any drifts or inconsistencies. This reporting and ad-hoc data search capability provides access to trends and analysis such as quality levels, first pass yield, cycle time, and other manufacturing KPIs. Performance Tracker can be used as a standalone solution or can be embedded in an existing ERP manufacturing dashboard.

It helps greatly reduce the time lost on shop floor due to wrong decisions and greatly improve the efficiency from the shop floor operators.

Product Overview

Performance Tracker is a server product which offers reporting capabilities on rule application during production processes. General Managers, Production Managers and Rule Analysts can generate reports to monitor the evolution of product performance related to the application of Best Practices. These reports are based, on one hand, on rules defined by Process Rules Discovery analysts and published to the Repository and, on the other hand, on historical production data.

Two types of reports can be produced:

Performance Tracker Full Reports

Performance Tracker Basic Report

The objective of Performance Tracker is to provide reporting on the production performance. It will permit production managers to follow global performance, as well as Subject Matter Expert to follow the accuracy of their Rule Model.

Product Highlights

Warnings on Rule Model wrong predictionsPerformance Tracker reports will permit to spot very easily the discrepancies (if existing) between the Rule Model and the actual output performance. These warnings can be used to trigger a new iteration analysis (with Process Rule Discovery) to update and improve the Rule Model in order to take into account these new situations.Value: Support the Continuous Improvement.

IntegrationPerformance Tracker can be accessed through the provided default web pages and MS SQL reports or via the web application API.Value: Easy integration with existing systems.
